Chaofeng Ye, a Queens resident, was arrested in Pennsylvania back in January for alleged credit card fraud. Because he was a Chinese national, he was transferred into ICE custody and locked up in a Keystone State detention center. On Aug. 5, Ye was found hanging inside a shower at the Mohannon Valley Detention Center.

Yanfeng Ge clung to a photograph of his beloved brother, 32-year-old Chaofeng Ge, in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday braving both the bitter wind and suffering the weight of an insurmountable loss at the hands of ICE. Chaofeng Ge, a Chinese native and Queens resident, perished inside the Moshannon Valley Processing Center, an ICE detention center in Pennsylvania, in August. Yet, three months later, his family says federal officials still have not communicated with them regarding the details of his death.

The disciplinary panel ultimately found the officers had acted properly. Mr Tekeste had concealed his actions and the officers' risk assessment and level of observation were appropriate based on the information they had.

Johnny Noviello, a Canadian man, died Monday at the Federal Detention Center in Miami while in immigration custody. The cause of death is under investigation.
